The authors present a case report of unrecognized herpes genitalis, which was caused by primary HSV-1 infection. The 28-year old female was examined by three board certified gynaecologist and initially treated as mycotic vulvitis. The authors point out the atypical course in the patient without anti-HSV-1 and HSV-2 antibodies. This infection is rather very painful, extensive and with complications. Thus, it is necessary to consider the diagnosis and to begin antiviral therapy as soon as possible.
